Kickstarter Watch - Epic Dungeon Tiles: Fantasy Tiles for 3D Printers

It’s
very promising with all these new 3D printing kickstarters popping up. It bodes
well for the future of 3D-printing and will hopefully get more people to buy a
printer, which in turn will allow for further growth.

If
you’re interested in what 3D-printing can do for your hobby then this is a very
affordable entry point and if you’re already into 3D-printing then it is equally
affordable.

Pledges
start at £5, which gives you the Just Tiles
reward, comprising some basic dungeon tiles, doors, pillars and a statue, or
the Help I’m Trapped reward with a
lot of traps.

If
you want both of the above it will cost you a total of £8.

For
£18 you’ll get all the dungeon tiles, an observatory and tavern tiles.

Now,
this is really affordable and doubly so, as all pledges of £5 or more will be eligible
for all stretch goals. At the moment the campaign is within a couple of £ of being funded and with that a couple of stretch-goals will be unlocked. With a minimum of luck they will be followed by a lot more.

I
especially like the cute Toadstool House.

Rob
is currently looking into making the whole set Open Lock-compatible, which I think
is a very good idea. We’ll see what happens with that during the campaign.

EDIT: As per Robs comment below, it is now Open Lock compatible.

This KS ends on July 20th
2017Rob kindly sent me a couple of STL-files for review
purposes and as soon as I get my printer up and running again I’ll try them and
will get back with the results.

My rating system

5 - A masterpiece. You have to read/see/visit.4 - Really good. Strongly recommended it if it is a subject of interest, and probably worth reading/seeing/visiting if not.3 – It’s OK. If it’s a subject you’re interested in, it’s probably worth reading/seeing/visiting. Otherwise you can probably skip it.2 - Well, not really... If it’s your subject you could possibly find something in it worth your while. Otherwise stay clear.1 - Stay clear. This is a waste of your time.
